I am trying to Dr. Garbanzoure out what to print on the beach balls. My thoughts are ball in one color, and then this years logo with the boom-box-squatch. Maybe 100 24" balls each of 5 different color patterns. Red - Back / Yellow - Black / Tan - Black / White - Black / Light Green - Black. 500 total.But then there is the risk that as they go out, people will just deflate them and pocket them as free souvenirs.Thoughts?

Real talk - 500 24" balls flying around won't be cool, it will be annoying. Think about when you're at a concert - a little inflatable ball drops near you, you maybe pick it up and throw it, and it falls again, and eventually just stays on the ground.

But when there's a fucking raft with a dude in it, or a giant shark, or a huge beachball? or a beachball filled with confetti? Then you pay attention, and everyone is trying to get a hand on it, and that's fun. Don't waste your money on little beachballs. It's not quantity of inflatables, it's quality.

I was more so speaking for the general mindset of this board, which is anti-anything current music trends. They're definitely a run of the mill electro-pop group that will eventually blow up and everyone here will hate, which is fine. That's how it works I guess. I shouldn't have said "so many reasons to hate," in retrospect, but I do recognize that they aren't very original.

Yeah, I thought that might be what you meant. But you know what, an awesome performance can bring this board around on almost anyone (see Weekend, Vampire; Robyn; Chromeo) - so I think they have a shot.
